Announce list
Hi,
Is there a mailing list for getting just announcements about new versions?
Thanks,
Arie

I don't think so. What would be the value?
Would you be upgrading every 6-8 weeks as the new versions come out?
Or are you downstream of Solr and want to check compatibility?
Curious what the use case would be.
Regards,
Alex.

I have seen other projects that have a releases mailing list, the only use
cases I can think of are:
1) users who want notifications about new releases, but don't want the
"flood" of the full user-list.
2) historical searching to see how often releases were made. Given there
isn't an official timetable, its not really going to be useful as a forward
planner, but might have some value looking at how often patch releases come
out. One could attempt to infer some degree of stability (or more
accurately lack of stability) if lots of patches for a given release came
out quickly.
Wasn't aware of the RSS feed, that's useful as an indicator for use case 1
at least. Use case 2 is probably too vague and has lots of
assumptions/inferences that mean its a bad idea anyway :)

There's always http://projects.apache.org/feeds/rss.xml.

I think this is exactly what the Arie was asking about (maybe with
RSS2Email gateway). Could we add that link to the official
documentation page (next to mailing list links) for other people
interested in this kinds of thing to find.

Well, the feed URL previously posted just happened to be for all projects,
there are also per project based feeds if you want more focused RSS...
https://projects.apache.org/feeds/rss/solr.xml
: Relatedly, is it possible to get updates on the Solr News page (
: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/solrnews.html)? I couldn't find an RSS link
: or such.
I don't believe the Apache CMS has any easy way to generate an RSS feed at
the moment.

Hi,
Thanks for your answers. I'll give some context: our project uses multiple
3rd party products, Solr is among them. Upgrading versions of 3rd parties
can only take place at specific points in time in the development cycle. At
these points it would be useful to be able to see what changed in all the
3rd parties and consider the upgrade.
So some projects (e.g. Maven, Tomcat) have their own ANNOUNCE-only lists
that make it easy to get informed of just the updates, and I was hoping to
have the same functionality in Solr.
The proposed solutions so far (the Apache general updates RSS and the Solr
general list) are "too noisy" and not focused enough.
Relatedly, is it possible to get updates on the Solr News page (
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/solrnews.html)? I couldn't find an RSS link
or such.
Best,
Arie

This is the primary usecase for the "general" list, although it does
occasionally get other traffic from people with questions/discussion about
the project as a whole...
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/discussion.html#general-discussion-generallucene
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-general/
If you are looking for a really low volume list where release
announcements are made, that's the place to start.
